Second Council of Ephesus

The Second Council of Ephesus was a Christian Church synod held in 449 AD in Ephesus under Emperor Theodosius II and Pope Dioscorus I of Alexandria. It was indended to be an ecumenical council, but it was attended by only 130 bishops, and all churches except for the Miaphysites rejected the Council at the Council of Chalcedon in 451. The council affirmed the hypostatic union of Jesus' divine and human characteristics, and Miaphysites and Monophysites supported the Council of Ephesus' ruling.
